What is "By Design Dahlias"?
You have found the website for one of New Hampshire's most lovely dahlia farms! Please take a moment to peruse my GALLERY of pictures of gorgeous dahlias all grown right here on the farm, and arranged by the Dahlia Lady, pictures of the gardens themselves, (maybe with a few kids wandering into view) and the vibrant presentation I make at the Norwich Farmer's Market in Norwich, VT. http://www.norwichfarmersmarket.org/
Check out the article on the farm and growing dahlias in Springfield in the Kearsarge Magazine Fall 2013!
http://www.kearsargemagazine.com/What make By Design Dahlias different? Well, first, I only sell to New England and NY. That started during Covid when Ag inspections were hard to come by. But I've kept it so to keep my customers close. Customer service is my top priority. I'm proud of my return customer rate, and selling quality tubers that I stand behind is what I want to be known for.

How do I...
If you would like to learn to grow dahlias with similar success, check out my Growing Instructions page, or visit the Contact Info section for where and when I will be giving my next dahlia talk. For a selection of the plumpest, healthiest, hardiest tubers around, you will want my Online Store. The store is currently closed, and should re-open in spring of 2025. You can still see the selection of what I have to offer, just overlook the "Sold Out" label. I tweak the website and build inventory all through the month of January, so check back for added varieties. To get yourself on my mailing list, so you can be alerted when the inventory goes online, scroll to the bottom of the page and subscribe, or drop me a note in the Contact Info section.

Garden/Store update
2024 was one of the most rewarding years here at By Design Dahlias. I found a new source of 'black gold' compost, and it turned 475 dahlia tubers into tremendous flower factories!! A long summer of excellent weather - maybe a bit shy of rain, but after the standing water of 2023, I wasn't complaining! Flowers lasted long enough in October to hand out to trick-or-treaters! (I love that)
Tons of new varieties rocked By Design's New England conditions, and cranked out beautiful tubers!!
Thanks to some eager helpers in my "Digging Up Dahlias Workshops"(see contact page for more information on those!!), every single plant was dug up, carefully examined for disease, split with tools soaked in bleach between each plant, and safely stored away in my basement.
After 23 years of storing tubers, I have it to an art form, and thousands will come available for sale in the spring!!
